Feral Friday

Just reminding everyone that Ginger is still

a cat in residence outdoors.

She along with 3 other abandoned cats

have taken up refuge in our yard.

One day Mom hopes she can talk Ginger into

moving inside.

I don't know how I feel about that.

Mancat Monday

Mom sorry I didn't mean to give you a near heart attack.

Backstory:

Ginger (outdoor cat) had decided she liked being fed

at the front of the house. So, I went out the front door,

(thought it was closed) and when I looked back,

I had 3 little faces in the front entryway, outside.

EEK!

I told them to go back in, ummmm you all know cats

really listen well, right?

Annabelle went back inside, but Ping & Jinx each went 

different directions on each side of the house.

Funny thing was I stood there in my panic

ordering "Ping" back in the house and it was

Ginger who was rubbing herself against my legs.

They do look alike.

At any rate. I ran and got Jinx first who I figured

would be easier to get, and he was. Ping was

happily smelling the flowers in the front flower bed.

Thankfully he didn't run, so I got him too.

But, I was spent. 

I have NOW made certain that the door is fully

closed when I go outside to feed Ginger.

I Spy

Hey what's going on up there?

Oh Ping what do you see?

Why it's Ginger!

In case you don't remember,

Ginger is our semi-feral

outdoor cat.

Mom had tried in the past 

to get her to come inside,

but she prefers to be Queen of her Jungle.

She has taken up residence

in our back enclosure.

It is steps from our catio.

It is much safer.

Mom did set up where if she chose

she could nest in the greenhouse.

But, every evening Ginger goes

to the wooded area between our house

and the neighbor who is gone.

That house is selling

and it worries Mom that they may not like

cats.

Deep thoughts with Annabelle

It's time to sit and ponder....

HECK NO

it's time to spring into action!

Hey Ginger what'cha running from?

OH I hear it too!

(it was the lawn care

service putting down fertilizer)

Where Have You Been?

GINGER

Mom was outside and I was watching.

She didn't think I knew.

But oh boy did she have different cat smells on her.

I know where you've been MOM!

Who Is That Kitty?

Hey MOM!

What are you doing out there with

that other cat?

Ginger in the grass.

She looks at the camera very warily!

Wordless Wednesday

Misc Friday

Mom and I thought we show you some photos

she has taken outside this month.

Her Dahlias are blooming like crazy!

They are so pretty.

We've had some nice low humidity lately 

and it's been nice to be outdoors.

It's National Feral Day today, 

Here are some very recent photos of Ginger.
I don't know that Ginger qualifies for a "feral".
Because she is very friendly to me.
Wary but friendly.
It's funny because when she sees me with
"street clothes" on she will run.
But when I get into my usual sweats she 'knows' it's
me and she happily greets me and rubs up against me.

Ginger loves the Mom.

She always loves to roll over on her back 

and make googly eyes at Mom.

Pretty Ginger!

Close up of the hydrangea in the back!

Ginger takes off!

Bye bye Ginger.

(Mom just loves this photo of Ginger flying!)
